EN 13675 Zinc in Organic Waste
The European Standard EN 13675 specifies a method for determining the content of zinc in organic waste. This test is crucial in ensuring that organic waste, which includes compost and other biodegradable materials, meets stringent environmental standards set by regulatory bodies.
This standard is particularly important as it helps to monitor the quality of organic waste products destined for recycling or composting processes. Zinc, a heavy metal, can pose risks if present in high concentrations within organic waste. These risks include affecting the biological degradation process and potentially contaminating soil and water when the waste decomposes.
The test procedure outlined in EN 13675 involves several steps including sample preparation, digestion of the samples to release zinc into a solution, and subsequent measurement using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The method is designed to ensure accuracy and reliability across various types of organic waste materials. Compliance with this standard is vital for ensuring that products meet environmental protection requirements.
Organic waste testing under EN 13675 provides detailed information about the zinc content in compost, biogas, and other forms of organic waste. Understanding these levels helps stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding product quality assurance and compliance with international regulations such as ISO 17224 for organic recycling.
The test is widely used by industries involved in waste management, environmental protection, agricultural sectors, and recycling facilities. Quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams rely on this data to ensure that their operations comply with global standards and contribute positively to environmental sustainability goals.
